Alan, I am in thrall to the exceptional quality of your writing! Wow! I feel more alive after reading this. This piece is as invigorating, authentic and beautiful as the coastline of which you write... I feel like sitting quietly for a while, after reading this, rather than just trundling on with my day.

Lizzie, I don't know what to say. Thank you. Connecting with people in this way is why I write in the first place, knowing it's had that affect is both humbling and overwhelming. Wishing you all the very best for the year.

This is just beautiful writing - and so moving. As a child I once holidayed in Pembrokeshire and sometimes - when I am dreaming - I am still there. This brought it all back. Thanks.
